LOS ANGELES - Michael Avenatti on Tuesday again proclaimed his innocence on charges he tried to extort millions of dollars from Nike Inc, but in an interview with CBS, admitted he was concerned about doing prison time.

CBS News on Tuesday released an excerpt of an interview it conducted with Avenatti in which he said he was worried about the possibility of going to prison for decades. According to the criminal complaint, Avenatti told Nike he would go public unless it paid his client $1.5 million and hired him and another lawyer to conduct an internal investigation of the company for between $15 million and $25 million.

It's all on audio tape

Right not paying taxes for ten years is innocent- hope they put him in San Quentin

Bye bit*h

The supreme arrogance of men like Trump and Avenatti is astounding. They should be sharing a cell.

The boys in the big house will love him.

I heard Napolean used to throw 15 pins inside the prison and search it to pass the time.

Ya know what this guy's problem is, he watched goodfellas too many times and thought he was a made man.

Can he get his case moved to Chicago?

Sanctimony is a mask for insecurity. And oh boy he had his fair share of the former...

He’s a hothead

Doesn't help he's got a dodgy Mafioso look. Prove 'em wrong, Michael.
